Han Always Shot First, Confirms Newly Discovered Star Wars Script

George Lucas has some explaining to do.

The big Star Wars debate of whether Han Solo shot Greedo first has plagued fans over the years, but now it seems like it might be settled.

An original script for Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope has been discovered, and apparently shows that Han was first to pull the trigger.

"I'll tell you one thing, right now," Kristian Brown, a librarian who discovered the original shooting script told CBS News. "Based on the script, I can tell you 100 percent, Han shot first."

The rare find was discovered in the archives of the University of New Brunswick's library, where it will now be put on display.

George Lucas caused uproar in 1997 when the film was rereleased with a modified version of Solo's gun fight with alien bounty hunter Greedo.

He said: "I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down."

The gunfight wasn't the only element that didn't make the final cut - the protagonist had a significant name change.

Brown confirmed: "The protagonist's name is listed Luke Starkiller instead of Luke Skywalker."
